Explain the impact on Hinduism of ONE significant person or school of thought other than the Vedas. Mohandas K. Gandhi is one of the most significant people of the 20th century. His Impact on Hinduism, India, South Africa, and indeed the world is timeless and people still look to his teachings for inspiration and guidance. Despite having received a law degree at the University College in London, Gandhi found himself being persecuted for being part of an inferior race, The widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian immigrants arriving in South Africa appalled him. After struggling for fundamental rights for Indians and being imprisoned multiple times for his efforts, he started teaching a policy of passive resistance, especially during protests such as the burning of the Alien travel passes which had been enforced on Indians by British rule. His teachings had a monumental effect. In 1914, the government of the Union of South Africa made concessions to Gandhi's demands, including recognition of Indian marriages and abolition of the poll tax for Indians. Gandhi advocated Satyagraha and launched his movement of passive resistance towards Great Britain's tyrannical rule. He declared, "Nonviolence is the greatest force to the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. He became the international symbol of a free India. He lived a spiritual ascetic life of prayer, fasting and mediation. Refusing earthly possessions, he wore the loincloth and shawl of the lowest Indian and subsisted on vegetables, fruit and juice. Indians revered him as a saint and began to call him Mahatma (great soul). Gandhi's advocacy of nonviolence, known as ahimsa was the expression of a way of life implicit in the Hindu religion. In 1930 Mahatma proclaimed a new campaign of civil disobedience calling upon the Indian population to refuse to pay taxes, particularly the tax on salt. Gandhi began a campaign...

...‘Men, women and schools of thought have reformed and/or revitalised the Christian tradition.’
How well does this statement reflect the impact on Christianity of ONEsignificantperson or school of thought, otherthan Jesus?
Pope John XXIII was a highly influential, religious leader in the Catholic Church, whom was elected Pope on 28th October 1958. Although he was thought to be a transitional pope, John XXIII was often addressed as the ‘good pope’ due to his significant involvement in Catholicism. He challenged the role of the Catholic Church and emphasised the importance of interfaith dialogue. John XXIII’s most significantimpact is the creation of the Second Vatican Council, which taught the Catholic Church to “open the windows” to engage with the modern world. Pope John XXIII was also passionate in promoting social justice, world peace and human rights. The statement clearly defines the impact John XXIII contributed to, as he reformed and revitalised the Christian tradition to adapt to the modern world of the 1960s, as well the ecumenism of all Christian denominations.
Before the opening of Vatican II on 11 October 1962, the Church was separated from the secular world, as it was considered that everything not within Christianity was corrupt. Even so,...

Schools of Thought
There were three major philosophies that existed in ancient Chinese times; Legalism, Daoism, and Confucianism. Each philosophy had different ways of thinking/beliefs that influenced their followers’ ways of life. Although these schools of thought may have been successful in ancient Chinese times, would they succeed in a democratic government in today’s society?
Oneschool of thought that would not flourish in today’s world is Legalism, founded by Han Feizi. Legalist ideas were built around the belief that only strict laws enforced by a powerful ruler would ensure order in society, and that “The ruler alone possesses power”. It is evident as to why these principles would not work in a democratic government because a democracy is a government by the people for the people, and no single being has total control. Han Feizi also believed that people act out of their own self-interest (One for all) and not to good examples (All for one). Although in today’s society we like to stick to the morals that you put the group over the individual, many people will still act out of greed and put themselves first. But our country would never prosper if everyone always acted out of just purely self-interest and be greedy all the time. The Legalist ideologies concerning self-interest...

...the debate over how to describe and explain the human mind and behavior began. The first school of thought, structuralism, was advocated by the founder of the first psychology lab, Wilhelm Wundt. Almost immediately, other theories began to emerge and vie for dominance in psychology. The following are some of the major thought that have influenced our knowledge and understanding of psychology: Structuralism, functionalism, behaviorism:
Structuralism:
Structuralism was the first school of psychology, and focused on breaking down mental process into the most basic component, Major structuralism thinkers include Wilhelm Wundt and Edward Titchner. This school of thought was based on the notion that the object of psychology is to analyze consciousness into its basic elements and investigate how these elements are related. Structuralism explores many aspects of the mind; thought research is mainly concerned with sensation and perception in vision, hearing and touch. Through the method of introspection, or the systematic observation of one’s own conscious experience, subjects were trained and the exposed to different visual stimuli, optical illusion and auditory tones. They were then asked to analyze what they experienced. During the first two or three decades of psychology, structural psychology was the psychology. It provided psychology with a...

Itihaasas, Manusmrithi etc. every other scriptures come under Smrithi.

...Is One Smoke Really “Safer” Than The Other?
Marijuana isn’t a safe smoke as people assume daily; it’s a very common thought that marijuana isn’t harmful, that all it does it make you want to sleep and eat and it calms you down. It is common to believe that medical marijuana and other drugs aren’t harmful because they are used for medical purposes. There are many negative outcomes of using marijuana such as addiction, learning disabilities, depression, and lung infections such as pneumonia.
Nora Volkow is the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). In the article “Why American Teens are Turning from Cigarettes to Marijuana” she says that teens believe marijuana is not harmful to themselves because it is used in medical situations. Many say that marijuana isn’t an addictive drug, however, with a frequent use for an extensive amount of time it can be addictive; twenty to fifty percent of daily users are addicted. Research shows that approximately nine percent, or one of every eleven of those who use marijuana even once will become addicted. Those numbers increase if you start to smoke in your teens (Marijuana).
In “Marijuana: Facts for Teens” a brochure by the National Institute on Drug Abuse explains more on how marijuana is harmful. It is not common knowledge that smoking marijuana changes how your brain works, there are over four hundred chemicals in...

From “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1945
FOR the most wild, yet most homely narrative, which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not -- and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified -- have tortured -- have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror -- to many they will seem less...
